After all, what Amelia and Irene were doing concerned the survival of the mermaid race, and Beverly couldn't possibly ignore it.

The news that has been circulating from the mainland recently is undoubtedly good news for Beverly, which has kept her in high spirits lately.

At this moment, Beverly was living in an underwater cave at the entrance of the underwater city, lying on a soft, seashell-shaped bed, looking at the newspaper in her hand... The newspaper could exist in the water because she had removed the water from its surface.

"A few days ago, the newspapers listed so many of the Church of Heaven's sins, yet the Church of Heaven couldn't offer any explanation. Is it because the Church of Heaven is already finished? Did I really bet right?"

Beverly put down her newspaper and took a deep breath.

The outcome was undoubtedly a very good result for her.

She even thought that Rex had probably been killed, otherwise why hadn't she seen any movement from him for several days?

Just as Beverly was having a good time, she suddenly seemed to realize something and sat up abruptly.

Who is attacking the barrier?

Chapter 496 The Second Life

The underwater city is naturally surrounded by a barrier, which Beverly had commissioned someone skilled in setting up barriers to do so. She also created a connection between the barrier and herself, so that she could detect any problems with the barrier immediately.

At that moment, Beverly noticed signs that the barrier was under attack.

Before Beverly could even go out to check the situation, the barrier shattered completely, failing to create any obstacle whatsoever.

"The barrier was broken so quickly?"

Beverly rushed out immediately.

With a gentle slap of her snow-white fishtail in the seawater, her entire figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

Are you looking for me?

Just as Beverly rushed out and looked around, a voice came from behind her.

The sound was very close, so close that Beverly's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she instinctively moved to the side before looking behind her.

When Beverly saw who was behind her, she froze.

A pale face, white hair and a long white beard, dressed in a white clergy robe, holding a platinum scepter... isn't that Rex?

Beverly never expected to see Rex in the underwater city.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

Beverly managed to speak, but her voice sounded strained.

Why is the other party here?

“You seem a little nervous?” Rex looked intently at Beverly.

"I wonder what brings His Holiness the Pope here?" Beverly replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Don't you know why I'm here?" Rex's expression seemed calm, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction deep in his eyes.

Those feelings of discontent naturally gave Rex a dangerous aura that Beverly could clearly sense.

Beverly was tense all over, and her breathing became rapid. It was difficult for her to remain calm in the face of Rex at this moment.

“Your Holiness, please be frank. I don’t know what Your Holiness means,” Beverly said with a tense expression.

"Do you think I don't know anything?" Rex said unhurriedly. "I don't want to waste my breath on you. Why are the Trident of Poseidon and the Coral Tree in Amelia's hands?"

Beverly: "..."

When Rex arrived, Beverly wondered if he had come for this reason, but when he actually brought it up, even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt a chill in her heart.

There's no way to explain this kind of thing.

"Why? Why?" Rex stared intently at Beverly. "If Amelia took these things, shouldn't you have told me immediately? Or did you not notice when Amelia took them? But is that possible? You didn't tell me anything, doesn't that mean you deliberately gave them to Amelia? In other words, you betrayed me?"

As Rex spoke, his aura grew increasingly profound, causing the surrounding seawater to boil.

Beverly probably didn't know how to explain it.

She did betray Rex, or rather, her initial allegiance was merely a pretense, so the betrayal was only to be expected.

But what should she say when facing Rex about something that she takes for granted?

At this moment, the other mermaids noticed what was happening and swam over one by one, watching from a distance.

"That's Pope Rex of the Church of Heaven!"

"Was he still alive? With so many things happening at the Church of Heaven lately, I thought he was dead."

Why did he come here? What does he want?

Upon seeing Rex, many of the mermaids felt uneasy, as everyone knew that Rex was not an easy person to get along with.

Rex looked at Beverly, whose expression was complicated, and slowly said, "It seems you don't know how to cover up the truth either, right? If you can't cover it up, then there's no need to. No matter who it is, they always have to be responsible for their actions, so you should understand what will happen next, right?"

Beverly's body tensed up even more.

She naturally understood what Rex meant.

She wanted to escape, but she knew it was all in vain. In the face of Rex, the powerful being known as the Heavenly Saint, she, as a Saintly Apostle, seemed so fragile.

Rex didn't want to say anything more and planned to deal with Beverly directly. After that, he also planned to go to the dwarf tribe.

He simply raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and a holy spear appeared directly in his hand, which he then hurled at Beverly without any mercy.

Seeing Rex's actions, Beverly quickly stepped back.

Even knowing what Rex might do to her, Beverly naturally didn't want to die.

But as soon as Beverly moved, she realized that the difference in strength between herself and Rex had become terrifyingly large. Even as she retreated at full speed, the spear was still approaching her at an astonishing speed, about to pierce her through.

A strong sense of horror permeated Beverly's entire body.

With Beverly's experience, she could easily understand what would happen if that shot landed squarely on her—she would be killed on the spot!

Even though she was a Holy Apostle, she still couldn't withstand even a single blow from Rex.

Is this the end for me?

At the last moment, the thought flashed through Beverly's mind.

The many mermaids in the distance also noticed what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Beverly.

Her long silver hair fluttered in the wind, and her figure was extremely graceful; it was Eileen.

Seeing the holy spear flying towards her, Eileen swung the War God's Sword in her hand. Silver-red light filled the War God's Sword, and with her movement, she slashed heavily forward.

"Boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and a burst of intense light exploded before our eyes.

Rex's pupils contracted sharply.

Why is Eileen here?

When Rex saw Eileen appear, he sensed that something was wrong.

He came to the mermaid clan on a whim, so how was he able to be found?

Rex looked to the side.

As expected, Amelia also arrived.

Where there is Eileen, there will naturally be Amelia.

At that moment, divine beings appeared around Amelia, surrounding her.

"Rex, I'll send you on your way."

Amelia drew her bow, and divine power was drawn forth, coalescing into a colorful arrow.

Rex did not try to escape. He had taken such attacks with the rest of his body before and knew very well that this was an unavoidable arrow that was bound to hit. All attempts to dodge would be futile.

When Amelia appeared, it signaled the end of her body.

"You don't seem surprised by my reappearance?" Rex said, looking intently at Amelia.

"No matter how many bodies you have, Rex, I will kill you all!" Amelia's tone was anything but polite.

"Whoosh!"

A flurry of colorful arrows shot out and arrived in front of Rex in the blink of an eye.

Rex did not resist, and let the arrow pass through his forehead.

Just like last time, Rex's body immediately began to collapse, turning into specks of light that tumbled endlessly in the seawater.

Beverly, who had just been rescued by Eileen, looked up and saw Rex being shot dead. Her eyes widened immediately.

Just when he thought he was about to be killed, not only was he saved, but the person who wanted to kill him was even killed instead?

Even Beverly felt as if she were in a dream when this happened.

==========

Deep underground somewhere on the mainland.

Inside a laboratory-like building, a culture chamber sits quietly.

Suddenly, as if something had changed, the incubation chamber collapsed.

Amidst a spray of debris and liquid, Rex emerged from the incubation chamber.

"Died again... As expected of Amelia, truly remarkable, truly admirable."

Rex uttered words of admiration, but his expression was gloomy.

Being killed twice by the same person is no pleasant experience.

Although I have many bodies, I cannot let myself be killed so easily. I absolutely cannot be killed a third time!

Why did they go to the mermaid clan? Was it a coincidence?

Rex thought of this again and began to ponder it.

No matter what he thought, he could only assume it was a coincidence. After all, who could have imagined having a second life? But after what happened before, his second life was exposed, and others could certainly guess that he had a third, fourth, or even more lives.

"I'm so unlucky."
